ohms, which wire is which? Common, run and start. Also if the 3 in 1 is hooked up wrong will it fry anything?

to determine terminals on compressor, remove relay and use ohmmeter to determine resistance between terminals. Since there are 3 terminals, you will end up with 3 resistance readings. Write these readings down. The highest reading will be between start and run. The midrange reading will be between common and start. The lowest reading will be between common and run. The wiring diagram for the 3 in 1 is on the package, so wiring it wrong shouldn't be an issue. Good luck.

id have to argee with marianne farley.. if you have no mechanail, exsperienve in wirring or know what watts are/ohms..id ask around post on fb, youd be surpised friends know someone who knows how to hook system up, going to a pro shop your looking at big money!! for install.

You can wire them down to 2ohms for your amp.... But I would sujest wiring them down to 1ohm and getting a amp that is stable at one ohm..... But it's up to you ether way it works......they'll last longer at 2ohm so I guess go with that one...

These are a stright forward install to any single coil location , just drop it in. As for the wires , the two that are soldered together are to stay soldered together unless you want to do coil tapping. In that case you separate them and connect them to a on / off toggle. The white is hot and black is ground.

I had this set up for a while. Wire the subs to 2ohms. Better to over power a sub than under power

It depends on how you use it. I'm running two sets of 6.5 components and it never gets hot. But if you bridge it down to two ohms it will get hot.

Make sure you have high capacity alternator, 4gauge wire or bigger, and that your subs can be wired to 1ohm. I have mines running 2 alpine type-x 12's at 1ohm fine all day long. Great amp for the price. Best money I've ever spent on an amp.

Just don't hook up in 1 ohm configuration. Amped my Fosgate 12s and blew a capacitor in brand new amp. Was told by local installers that Pioneer couldn't handle that wire up. Should work otherwise if suits your listening pleasure.

Honestly I don't know how the ohms work. I believe they are 8 when all four are wired., I bulit a custom box but left the rear panel off, for two reasons 1 to get more air in and out and 2 to switch between 2 and all 4.

Only 2 wires are conected inside One wire is sniped short that wire you won't use the other 2 you can hook up anyway you want as it is ac I hope this helped good luck

The low amp draw has to do with the starting current, not the running amps which is governed largely by horsepower produced. Must have some sort of soft start feature, but I don't know the details. It will start on a normal 115 volt, 15 amp circuit and operate. I've used a 25 foot, 14 ga, extension cord and had no problems running and starting on a normal household receptacle.

you need a 2 ohm Dual voice coil to make 1 ohm or 4 ohm connection. Do no under power this sub. I've been blasting 3000w+ for almost 2 years and it loves it. I bought a 2000w fosgate amp and the amp wasn't enough. protection mode way too early. I went back to my old 3500w mono refurbed amp and no issues again. Shouldn't have fixed what wasnt broken. Best sub around for the $$$.. I promise.

Mos tlikely a 'fail safe' from power surge to protect your unit. Mine did the same thing for days as I scratched my head and tried numerous things. Discovered it was a shorted out and crossed iwred speaker wire from one of my Polk Audio sourround speakers. It was shorting and causing the unit to shut down. I had to connect a different amp to find out. My Sony told me it was a bad wire connection.Check ALL your cables, wires, and connectors. All must be tight and not shorts. All tips must be terminated properly.

Hi,We have both. The one you are looking at is 8 ohm. Thanks for asking and have a nice day.

If you have any knowledge of wiring, it want be difficult. If it is your first time, I would ask someone with more experience to give you a hand. I would also suggest putting an in-line fuse on the wire, just to be safe.

Mine has a yellow wire but there are no standard color and changing it based on what they have in stock (many low end Chinese manufacturers will do this) ... it should be red-black-X .. red is volts, black is ground and the 3rd wire is current .. you can check this by using a DMM on ohms mode and looking for a practical short (less than 5 ohms) from ground to the green wire and that will verify that it is the current

Your power goes to the center connections #3 & #4 your sensor goes to #5 & #6 the load (whatever your using it for) goes to #1 & #2. There is no polarity so it don't matter which way you hook it up. The only thing on you load hook up #1 & #2 you should run the hot wire side through them. Good Luck Max ( I see clchoice gave you the same lay out)
